« Not content with scaffolding tales to sleep standing up which he then took for cash, my left brain showed an unfortunate tendency to redundancy, that is to say to constantly rehash the same ideas. Many of us see our thoughts going on without respite and are more often surprised than in turn to imagine disaster scenarios. Alas! our society does not teach children to "cultivate the garden of their minds." In the absence of self-discipline, our thoughts follow one another by automatism.

« My haemorrhage was a blessing for me in that it allowed me to "give a boost" to the neural networks that caused my joie de vivre.

It is in my right hemisphere that reside my mystical tendencies, my wisdom, my faculties of observation, intuition, foresight. My perpetually awake right brain lets itself be caught by the passage of time. »
